Biography
Dr. Arias-Castro received his PhD in Statistics from Stanford in 2004. After receiving his degree he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the NSF funded Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles, (September 2004 - December 2004) where he participated in the program on Multiscale Geometry and Analysis in High Dimensions. January - July 2005 Dr. Arias-Castro was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the NSF funded Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, in Mathematical, Computational and Statistical Aspects of Image Analysis.
His work is motivated by fundamental problems ranging from finding filaments and sheets of galaxies to identifying roads, rivers, railroads, etc. in satellite images.
Before going to Stanford, Dr. Arias-Castro placed 16th in the "Agregation Externe de Mathematiques," a highly competitive French national examination, for which candidates receive rigorous training and compete for teaching positions in Mathematics at the secondary and college level.
Academic Interests and Research
Image Processing and Detection of Geometric Objects by Fast Multiscale Methods and techniques related to Statistical Mechanics.
